[ad_1] As I noted this morning, on Wednesday the Ninth Circuit allowed a religious discrimination claim against Alaska Airlines to go forward. The plaintiffs (Marli Brown and Lacey Smith) were Christian flight attendants who were fired for objecting on a company-run intranet to the company’s statement in favor of a federal ban on sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination. (The case is Brown v. Alaska Airlines, Inc., written by Judge Daniel Bress and joined by Judge Kenneth Lee and, in large part, by Judge Morgan Christen.) But the plaintiffs also sued their union, the AFA (the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA…

[ad_1] The failures of US militarism have soured the concept for many young Americans On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order which revived the original name for the Department of Defense, “The Department of War.” While technically the name remains the Department of Defense for legal purposes (as only an act of Congress can officially change the name), the Trump administration has done everything else in its power to rebrand the institution in this regard, claiming the original name is “woke” and that the change ensures the Department’s “ability to wage war and secure what is…

[ad_1] Please note: This post is also available on Substack. * * *Let’s consider the arguments of those who advocate global governance, the people whom Hrvoje Morić identifies as the Multipolaristas. They are often engaged in China-maxxing and are, whether they know it or not, essentially serving as propagandists for the global oligarchy. Research conducted by analysts working for the South China Morning Post (SCMP)—an English-speaking, Western-aligned Chinese news outlet—suggests that, between 2015 and 2025, a notable shift occurred in the way China and its government were portrayed by the leading Western media organisations. Chief analyst Jianlu Bi, who is a senior fellow at the Washington Institute…

[ad_1] Podcast host Joe Rogan said last week that the “blowback” he got for talking about Covid-19 vaccine side effects included “PACs,” “presidents, and former presidents” trying to get Spotify to cancel him over “misinformation.””I had almost quietly snuck up to this and had this large audience that they weren’t aware of,” Rogan said about how he was able to speak out about it. “And the blowback was crazy.””They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There were PACs involved,” he said. “Thank God I was on Spotify, and thank God Spotify is not an American company. Also, it…

[ad_1] It was my luck that I arrived in Britain to pick up my master’s degree just before a heat wave hit. The temperatures last week were reaching 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day. That wouldn’t normally be a problem. I was used to even higher temperatures growing up in New Jersey, working in D.C., and studying abroad in Jordan. But now I was without air conditioning. Every night was sweaty and sleepless, and every day was sluggish. And I wasn’t suffering alone. Around 90 percent of homes in the United Kingdom don’t have AC. Europe’s mainland…

[ad_1] From today’s dissent from the denial of certiorari in Dershowitz v. CNN, Inc., written by Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Gorsuch: Alan Dershowitz sued respondent, a major news network, alleging that it defamed him. Because Dershowitz is a “public person,” our precedents required him to prove not only the elements of common-law defamation, but also that the network acted with “actual malice.” See Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. (1974). Predictably, Dershowitz did not prevail under that exacting standard, which this Court created in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. Dershowitz now asks this Court to overrule Sullivan and related precedents.…
